1. Plug the Asunflower Ftdi USB to Serial / Rs232 Console Rollover Cable for Cisco Routers - Rj45 into the USB port on the Macbook on one end, and the other end into the router's Console port.
2. Open the "terminal" app on the Macbook to get a shell prompt.
3. Look in the "/dev" directory to find the device name for the Asunflower USB to Serial Console cable. The command is:
ls -l /dev/tty.usbserial*
4. Find the device name of the Asunflower. It will have a name starting with "tty.usbserial", followed by a bunch of numbers and letters. For example, "/dev/tty.usbserial-FD12BE41".
5. Make sure the router is powered on.
6. Use the "screen" tool to connect to the router. The command is:
screen /dev/tty.usbserial-FD12BE41 115200,cs8
Make sure to replace "/dev/tty.usbserial-FD12BE41" with the actual device name you found in Step #4.
7. At first nothing will happen, but push Enter or Return, and you should get the UBNT login prompt.
8. The default admin user name and password are both "ubnt".
9. To exit the session, press Ctrl+A, then Ctrl+K, then press "y" to confirm and exit back to your shell terminal.
And there you have it!
This is what Cisco should be shipping with their routers / switches. Really, nobody wants to use (or has) actual serial ports anymore.
It took me a bit to find the right drivers, but once installed- this worked like a charm. I had been keeping around a 10 year old laptop which runs XP since it has an actual serial port. No need to keep around ancient hardware anymore just to use serial! Sure, I could have used an adapter to USB, but I havn't had great luck with those adapters. This cable does it all and no flakiness.
Edit: I just bought another, as I left my old on a work site. These are great. They make it simple to Putty to the console of Cisco and other equipment that offers a RJ45 connection to the console. I am now running Windows 8.1. For whatever reason, the comm port keeps moving, so I have to check in Device Manager from time to time to find the current comm port number. But beyond that, this thing connects every time.
(For those using Linux: set 115K speed in minicom and run dmesg to find the name of your USB port after you plug in the cable. You can set parameters in minicom by runing "sudo minicom -s". Don't forget to "save as dfl" the setup dialog in minicom if you want the parameters to stick.)
Worked great, much better than the standard USB dongles with a serial end. I had one of those at work and it would just drop the serial connection for no reason, ended up having to buy a full on PCIe serial add-in card for my workstation. Wish I had found this product earlier.
Theoretically this cable can be extended with a straight RJ45 female-female coupler; but I have not tried it yet. Will also try extending the USB side with extension cable and USB HUB.
Previous experience.... Extension with a serial card > standard blue CISCO serial > COUPLER > 50FT Cat5 > Switch.
Tested using an old Asus G73JH on Windows 10 Pro and Putty. Did not need to hunt for any drivers; not sure it installed any, could have just been really quick or had drivers installed from previous serial dongles. Be sure to check COM Port, especially after reboot... I am sure there is a way to set it static but I have never bothered to search for a solution.
